White County, AR (KTHV)-A White County woman died Saturday following a house fire authorities believe may have been caused by a wood-burning fireplace.

 

Tiffany Weatherford, 38, was found dead at her home at 826 Swinging Bridge Road near Beebe when firefighters responded to a blaze at around 2:30 a.m. White County Sheriff's Office found Weatherford dead five feet from the fireplace.

 

The White County Sheriff's Office has no reason to believe foul play was involved, but the incident is under investigation.

 

Weatherford was the only person in the home at the time of the fire. Her body has been taken to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for autopsy and Beebe firefighters have contacted the state fire marshal's office.



The McRae, Antioch and El Paso fire departments also responded to the fire.
